By staying up late, we exert some infinitely small level of control over our lives. We get to choose when the free time ends.

Compare that to admitting defeat and going to bed to be well rested for your wage slave job where you generate shareholder value that you will never see yourself.

Its an easy choice. Stay up late, work to rule, form a cross industry collaboration with other unions and bring the economy to its knees.

Counter offer. Poor sleep hygene is hugely detrimental to every part of your health. It leaves your body weak, it hinders your cognitive abilities, it slows your reaction time, it deregulates your mood, and it leaves you with a low threshold for change and action. That's not even touching the increased dependency on creature comforts and addictions that only feed the corpo wallet.

There is an obvious reason the corps push for more hours and worse balance, Walmart got caught back in the oughts recommending managers routinely change up employee hours because the disruption makes them more complacent to the company.

Get a good night sleep. Every night, every chance. Make it the foundation of your schedule. Use your well rested body, mind, and spirit to come up with new and creative ways to fuck over work. Good sleep is 6-10 hours of rebelling against the systems designed to oppress you and they give you the clarity of mind you need to make it a 24/7 rebellion.

Thinking of good sleep as a form of rebellion might genuinely work for me lmao

i feel all these affects, but there's nothing i can do about due to sleep apnea.

since being diagnosed decades ago, i've learned that almost half of the us population suffers from it at well and reading this is making wonder if that's why we're all okay w living in a world controlled by billionaire pedo's. lol
